Daisies Are Forever (37 page)

Thank you to my eighth-grade locker partner, Ruth Lyons,
for your translation of Ruth Lippert’s biography. You helped me to truly understand her story.

My family’s love and support allowed me to follow my dream and write this book. Thank you to my children, Brian, Alyssa, and Jonalyn, for being flexible and understanding when dinner was late or nonexistent because of a deadline. And to Doug, thank you for holding down the fort, for cleaning and cooking and carting kids around so I can follow my passion. You make me a better person.

And while so many people had a hand in making this book a reality, the truth is that without God’s blessing, not a single word would have been written. He planted the desire and the ability in me and surrounded me with just the right people at just the right time. All praise to Him.
